The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-10-09

ANY careful observer Of New York hf'
Viii admit, | think, that the IRISH cause :
steadily coming up II popular estimation
while the cause OF the Anarchists Is drop
ping lower and lower toward the gutter
Whether the big boom that the thieves
murdereTs and cuthroat renegades Of Euro
pean anarchlsE1 now in this country viii
receive when seven Of their members are
hanged in Chicago On Nov. IL will succeed
In lifting the tribe into prominence again Is
doubtful. Two widely different Gauss led
70 the reversal Of popular sentiment which
Is now going on Eugene Kelly, the banker,
IS III the main responsible for the dignity
which the irish question now maintains,
while a dirty old bsdstead in an East Side
tenement was the keystone Of the fall Of the
Anarchist structure. The structure con
sisted OF bonbast, dirt. thievery. murder
beer, squalOr and fanaticism. Looking II
over carefully, the old East Side bedstead
looms up a. about the only substantial and
finite element Of the entire movement. .
Herr Most's belhgerent talk and spreadeagle
oratOry unquestiouably created a deep
impression, out when he was found under
the bed, the humOr Of the situation was too
strong for even anarchism to bear.
Mr.. Eugene Kelly is a man worth a great
many million dollars and the head Of an i'm
portant down town bank. He IS self made
and as patriotic as freshmen Of keen intelli-
gence and strong business sagacity often
are. There have been numerous scandals
and no end Of quarrels in the land league on
this side Of the water. as there have in vari-
Gus other American branches of Irish
schemes. In every crisis Eugene Kelly has
been appealed 70. and his sturdy good sense
and business capacity have enabled the
patriots to pull through. The influence Of
one eminent man Of sincerity and broad
comprehension Of events IS Of inestimable
value in a struggle ike that Of Ireland. Mr..
Kelly has gradually gathered substantial
men around him, and is to-day the strongest
arm Of the whole system Of Irish agitation
in this country.
The arrival Of Sir Thomas Henry Graf
ton Esmonde, Bart, and his fellow traveller,
Arthur O'COnnor, has suddenly directed at
tention 20 the new tactics Of the Irish party
These two men stand at the very head Of
the Parnell- Gladstone combination. and il
may be taken for granted that they could
not be spared from Parliament at this time
if it were not recognized on the other side
that the American interests are paramount
10 all others Sir Thomas, or Mr." Es-
monde, as he prefers TO be called, IS a man
of 20 years. slenderly built, with a fair
complexion and modest manner. He dresses
quietly and talks with a set jaw and
thoughtful eyes. OConnor is a 6-fOOter,
with an imposing presence, a black beard
and deep bass voice. His manner is hearty
anf direct Both Of these noted arrivals
were leaning against the railing of the
Hoffman House this morning, chatting
quietly and apparently unrecognized by the
mob Even those most devoted Of Irish
patriots. the hack drivers. did not know
them. Most people glanced at the men a
second time, however for there was no
question of their distinction of bearing Mr.
OCOnnor was as mellow as a sailor on his
first day ashore.
II look forward he said, during short
talk, with feeling Of the utmost pleasure
to our trip through the country, aside from
the fact that we will be of assistance To the
party on our pilgrimage, but will have an
opportunity Of seeing every section Of the
country from ocean to ocean. We begin in
the extreme east and speak constantly in the
different cities until we arrive at San Fran
cisco"
you will find some queer represen-
tatives of Ireland's cause in the smaller
towns"
''Oh, we are quite prepared for that, and
we have full comprehension of how the
lesser politicians have been gaining their
own ends by trading on Ireland's griev-
ances. We hope to place the whole question
in a new light before the American people
and that is the sole reason of our presence
here
The importation Of these two brilliant
orators and distinguished leaders of the
Irish party will do more to lift the prospect:
of Ireland's success through America thar
any other recent move of the party.
